Les, I've grabbed lots of lizards, frogs, and snakes to put them in some more photogenic place nearby (and I always attempt to return them to the exact location where I found them). The first time I grabbed a skink, I was amazed at the mouth strength when it bit me on the web between thumb and index finger. It seems these little guys eat beetles, and therefore have a stronger bite. Their tails are also very brittle; if you grab it by the tail, it will separate, leaving you with just a wiggling tail.
